Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is linked to cardiovascular risks and recent studies have shown a connection between increased prolactin (PRL) levels and platelet activation, specifically the mean platelet volume (MPV) in women with PCOS.
- A cross-sectional study analyzed three groups: women with PCOS and mildly elevated PRL levels, women with normal PRL levels, and healthy controls, measuring various health indicators like blood counts and glucose levels.
- Findings revealed that women with PCOS and elevated PRL had significantly higher MPV levels, indicating a possible increased risk of cardiovascular issues due to platelet activation associated with prolactin.
